That cannot be assumed. Dell typically puts quality OEM PSUs in their server-grade stuff and frequently in their lesser models, but not always. An image of the chart on the side of your PSU should suffice.

Dell uses many oems for their PSUs, like hipro, delta, etc.

260w should be sufficient but a picture of the label would be useful.

The first problem with this equation is... why do you have a Dell? Lol

but besides that you should need 250W PSU. So you should be fine.

I actually ran my 750Ti on a 240W PSU in a Dell PC back in the day. That was on a Q6600 which has a higher TDP than your i5.

260W should be adequate.

There's a great deal of variability among Dell OEM PCs. We're not asking for the details for frivolous reasons. The recommendation for a Delta-made 260W PSU for Dell that can actually delivery 260W on the +12V rail is a very different beast than a decade-old 260W that only has 12A on the +12V rail. Especially if this is an overclocked 750 Ti that requires a supplementary power connector, something that ASUS did sell. While it's likely OK, you cannot assert this is a fact without knowing all the underlying facts.

I have 8300 HP sff - with psu 240 W and Gtx 750 Ti works just fine .

 

[SFF_fan]

Yes it can - I have 240 W psu HP and it works well with gtx 750TI

Because, when leases expire, a lot of these machines get dumped on the secondary market for cheap prices. A 3rd-7th gen Core-i7 is still OK for gaming if you bring the RAM to 16gb and can find a video card that doesn't overload the power supply.
